A student measures the spring constant k of a spring by loading it and measuring the extension. (According to Hooke's law, if l is the load and e is the extension, then k = l/e. Assume five independent measurements are made, and the measured values of k (in N/m) are 36.4, 35.4, 38.6, 36.6 and 38.0 Estimate the spring constant, and find the uncertainty in the estimate. Find an approximate value for the uncertainty in the average of 10 measurements. Approximately how many measurements must be made to reduce the uncertainty to 0.3 N/m? A second spring, similar to the first, is measured once. The measured value for k is 39.3. Approximately how mu Ch is the uncertainty in this measurement?

Uranium has two naturally occurring isotopes. 238u has a natural abundance of 99.3% and 235u has an abundance of 0.7%. it is the rarer 235u that is needed for nuclear reactors. the isotopes are separated by forming uranium hexafluoride uf6, which is a gas, then allowing it to diffuse through a series of porous membranes. 235uf6 has a slightly larger rms speed than 238uf6 and diffuses slightly faster. many repetitions of this procedure gradually separate the two isotopes. what is the ratio of the rms speed of 235uf6 to that of 238uf6? express your answer to five significant figures.
